Language Of The Heart

by Bryan Kessler

 

When you're in love with someone

And the words come out all wrong

Open your heart, you just can't lose

Play her some sweet sounding groove

 

Play her song that she loves

Tell her you love everything she does

Sing her words that you feel

Make her believe that you're for real

 

  *Whether you're young or whether you're old

    You can be a part of feeling alright

    No matter how rich or poor that you are

    Music is the language of the heart

 

We build up these walls that keep us apart

Sometimes words can miss their mark

A sweet melody to bridge this divide

We need only to decide

 

So when you feel lost, it's so hard to see

That you can always count on me

I'll sing you a song, it'll be alright

I'll help you through the night

 

  *chorus

 

**Whether you're young or whether you're old

    You can be a part of feeling alright

    It's never changed right from the start

    Music's been the language of the heart

 

  *chorus

<解説>

2019年のウクレレ・ピクニック・イン・ハワイでこの曲を、作者ブライアン・ケスラーとステージで演奏できたことは本当にラッキーであった。メンバーはブライアンと僕の他にウクレレが関口和之、ウクレレベースがYANAGIMAN。なんという最高なメンツだろう。お話をいただいた関口さんに心から感謝。

 

そのときブライアンから聞いたのだが、作曲したのはハワイアン・スタイル・バンドが解散(のちに再結成)した後のことだった。父親の死がきっかけになったという。
